We are pleased to release the call for proposals for the 2017 CSTAR Summer Faculty Program at JPL. This program provides travel reimbursement and salary for Georgia Tech faculty to spend a portion of the summer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California pursuing research collaborations that advance the frontiers of space science and space technology. This proposal opportunity is open to all Georgia Tech academic faculty.

Proposals, of maximum length of 4 pages, are sought which describe the technical aspects of the proposed collaboration, identify the JPL partners by name, and describe the likely downstream impacts of this summer collaboration. Proposal topics must be aligned with one of the space science and space technology thrusts of the Georgia Tech Center for Space Technology and Research identified in the attached document.

Proposals should be submitted to Dr. Thomas Orlando (thomas.orlando@chemistry.gatech.edu) and are due on December 16, 2016.
